So this could be a test of breakfasts ability to get a experienced presenter in on Sundays at short notice (although I suppose Naga could be scheduled to present anyway).

It's Ben Thompson and Sian Lloyd on Breakfast tomorrow

Charlie is London based so could be drafted in to present from the scene with perhaps Louise in the studio?

Louise in meant to be doing a triathlon tomorrow.
If someone can lead from the scene I reckon Ben is recognisable enough to breakfast viewers to take the studio portion of the programme.

Very odd - my Now TV EPG shows an 'ITV News' report from 11:45 to 12:15. Currently The Chase airing however.

BBC Radio 5 Live reporting one death on London Bridge.

Surprised ITV News is coming on the air. Just goes to show that if they could have done, they would have gone live in the immediate aftermath of the Manchester attack.

No intelligence on this incident, completely unexpected - BBC News.

Itv have started the Chase? So I guess the report at 0010 will not be rolling

Maybe because it's in London and therefore ITV have pictures? Or perhaps it's before midnight and they haven't gone home yet. Who knows. They're not doing more than a short report though as ITV has just gone to 'The Chase' (at least they have in my region). I think because ITV isn't a rolling news channel (neither is BBC One but clearly the BBC cover major incidents such as this on their main TV channel).

EDIT: Has ITV News been on or not? Not clear as I'm watching the BBC (mainly) and just switched over to ITV.

EPG is showing ITV News report being on right now, even though they're showing The Chase. Sounds like its simply going to be a bulletin and not rolling news, as Jackpot-247 is scheduled for 15 minutes past.

ITV News will be on-air at 0010.

Not sure Sky News are really helping the situation by showing what appears to be someone getting handcuffed live on the air.
